Here are a few entries in the MSO SHTF “Go To” Knife contest. The best one selected will win a Gerber Machete Pro.
I am not looking for a picture of a knife laying on the kitchen counter – somehow make it unique and interesting. Set your entry apart from the rest. This could be something unique with the picture or maybe the description – or both.
Send your contest entries to emergencycd(at)gmail.com. Make sure to include the picture and tell me a little about why you have chosen this as your SHTF knife.
The contest will run through March 1st. Each entry will be presented here on ModernSurvivalOnline. Anyone entering the contest must be willing to supply their name and address should they win the so it can be shipped to them.

From John’e –
Chances are your SHFT “Go To” Knife will be the one you are standing there with when everything goes to hell in a hand basket. My EDC (Every Day Carry) knife is the Gerber S30V. It is very well built and keeps an edge well. The manufacture touts it as;:
When our men and women overseas speak, we listen. The Gerber 06 Automatic features an over-sized release button for use with gloves, a slide safety that engages in both the open and closed positions, a stainless steel pommel with a strike point and a lanyard hole compatible with 550 cord, a partially serrated edge, and a contoured aluminum handle for a secure grip whether your working with blade or the handle. The stainless steel blade is made using S30V, a premium stainless steel that stands up to incredible abuse while holding its edge like no other.
- Overall Length: 8.5″
- Blade Length: 3.7″
- Blade Material: S30V
- Handle Material: Type III Anodized 6061 Aluminum

I like the Rodan, because it is called the Rodan. I’d like them to make a Godzilla, as well.
